Days of Summer Now Long Gone
We were young and life was sweet
Running those summer streets in bare feet
Staying out late, dirt rings on our neck
Watching the clouds while laying on the deck
We played ball in the neighbors yard
Made bikes into motorcycles with a playing card
Drank water out of the water hose
Played Freeze Tag and struck a pose
It was summer time and school was out
We were young, alive, and had no doubt
Life was so much simpler back then
Before all of life’s adult stress moved in
Heartache the fast pace of life brought on
Oh for the days of summer now long gone
